IRISH BMDs 1864-1958
« on: Wednesday 12 November 08 13:10 GMT (UK) »
Just an update!

Their website shows that the Irish BMDs are a “completed” project, so I (again!) contacted LDS to ask when they would be made available on FamilySearch.  This morning’s reply is:

Dear Patron,
Thank you for contacting FamilySearch Indexing Support.

In answer to your question about when the Ireland BMDs will be made available to the public we can not give you any specific date or time.

Information about upcoming collections in Record Search has not been made available. We can only suggest that you regularly visit Record Search in FamilySearch.org. New collections are being added frequently and we hope it will not be too long until they are made available.

We appreciate the efforts you have made in participating in the Indexing Program. With the number you have indexed it really is a significant amount you have done. Thank you for your participation.
Sincerely,
FamilySearch Indexing Support

When I first contacted them in April 2008, I was told it could be “several weeks or months” before we would see the BMDs.  So is “it will not be too long” a step nearer??

thanks for the update - will keep an eye out for on the website for any changes.

They seem to have some extracted data already up - 1864 to mid 1880s ?
I was able to find data for Co. Dublin and Wicklow which I know to be accurate from GRO searches.

maybe we'll have a great Christmas present and get all the BMD data and National Archives census data all in the same month!

They don't drink or celebrate Christmas? Didn't know that...it's a wonder they manage to get any newcomers to their fold. :(  Guess I won't be converting any time soon...

Didn't know about Christmas, but no coffee or tea either, but they do do lots of singing.

Does this mean births, marriages and deaths? There are few deaths in the IGI.
How will this info be titled? Does anyone know?

Yes.

There are few deaths in the IGI.

Yes, but the ones I'm referring to are the OFFICIAL, Government records.

I'm guessing it will be as it is at the moment.  I don't think they will show them any differently to the way you find any names on the IGI.
